Under the terms of the contract, VFA will provide comprehensive condition assessments of more than 400 Sandia facilities spanning approximately 1.8 million square feet at its Albuquerque, NM and Livermore, CA campuses. Sandia will employ VFA.facility® capital asset planning and management software for ongoing management of facility data and for development of capital projects and plans, and VFA will train Sandia personnel in its use. The VFA solution will enable Sandia to export facility information in a format compatible with the DOE’s real property asset management directives for reporting.

“Historically, Sandia has relied on multiple spreadsheets and databases to maintain information about its facilities and to generate the reports needed to meet DOE requirements,” said Lynnwood Dukes, facilities engineering and program manager at Sandia. “The VFA solution will provide Sandia with a central repository of up-to-date facilities data, enable sophisticated cost modeling capabilities and streamline the process of generating the asset reports required by the DOE.”

“We look forward to supporting Sandia in optimizing its facility capital planning and management initiatives,” said VFA President and CEO Jerry Kokos. “The detailed facility condition information and decision support tools that VFA offers will provide a strong foundation for Sandia to strategically manage its capital assets and effectively support its research and development programs.”
